Stocking up for summer shooting. Everytyhing is high.

Found this film on line but don't know what it is. . . ."Kodak Scientific Imaging Film, Cat 864 6770 8"

What is this film and how can I use it?

In the 1990s and early 2000s I used to have access to Kodak "Ektascan" film for Ultrasound and Nuclear Medicine imaging where I worked. It seemed to be Tri-X. Emulsion on one side only. Notch code was simply one crescent or semi-circular cut out. The clinic where I worked had an automatic roller transport set up ("X-Omat") that developed sheet of film in 90 sec, dry-to-dry. I found the medical photographer running rolls of 35mm Tri-X through it between my group running the medical imaging film . .I bought some bulk rolls of 70mm Tri-X at a camera show, and it worked in that chemistry retally well too.

Is this film pretty much the same thing as Ektascan, or is it more like what use dto be called "Tech-Pan"? . . .or is it something different?

Any experience or info?

The catalog number won't help much; every size/quantity has a different one. What you want is the 4-digit type number, as in "Tri-X Pan Professional 4164". Kodak at its peak made over 300 different types of film, many very specialized.
I'm not familiar with this one (no surprise). The best reference I know of is Bob Shanebrook's fine book, "Making Kodak Film"; it contains some very extensive lists of EK products. But I don't own a copy, or have one easily available.
No doubt someone with direct experience with this film will speak up, though.

The image shows a label that includes the terms "X-OMAT LS". This seems to be a radiography film available commercially as a Carestream product, e.g.:
